Philosophy

Established in 1962 and operating under the authority of Chapter 341 of the Oregon Revised Statues, Treasure Valley Community College is committed to serving the people and communities within its district and service area.

The primary purpose of the college is to provide lifelong educational opportunities, with the community as both a resource and a beneficiary.

People of varying ages and interests find learning experiences in college: programs designed to develop professional-technical skills; programs suitable for beginning a college education; programs devoted to cultural experiences; and programs aimed at satisfying specific interests and solving specific problems.

In keeping with this comprehensive purpose and operating within available resources, the College strives to provide an open door educational program directed toward the following goals:

  1. A diversity of occupational education programs to prepare students for employment in technical and vocational fields.
  2. A counseling program designed to aid students in their educational and career planning.
  3. A transferable two-year liberal arts and sciences curriculum for those people who desire to work toward a Baccalaureate Degree.
  4. A comprehensive continuing education program for adults who wish to extend their education, improve their occupational skills, or pursue other special interests.
  5. General education opportunities for personal growth.
  6. A program of developmental and remedial education, which will provide opportunities for students to pursue other educational or personal goals.
  7. A comprehensive educational, cultural, and recreational program which complements the instructional and student activities of the college.
